Call Them In: Trump Will Not Make America Safe Again

President Trump ran on a platform of making America “safe again.” But his proposed cuts to the State Homeland Security Program make that seem like an empty campaign promise. Our states and localities must be prepared to deal with unforeseen events that could harm Americans. Whether the threat is terrorism or natural disasters, it is the government’s job to keep people out of harm’s way, and, if that fails, to help communities recover from tragedy.

That is a total of more than $100 million, which leaves states without the tools they need to look out for us during major crises.

Trump’s budget would cut $15,044,625 from the homeland security program in California

Call your senators and tell them to reject this reckless slashing of an essential program.

Hi, my name is _______, and I live in [your city].

I’m calling to ask [your senators] to refuse any budget cuts to the State Homeland Security Program. This program provides states with the resources they need to prevent, prepare for and recover from catastrophic events.

Trump’s proposal, [which would cut $15,044,625 from this program in California], would make our country and state less safe. Do not let Trump’s budget cuts make us more vulnerable.

Thank you.
